“…In recent years, the health of Aboriginal peoples has become a priority among Canadian health researchers (Adelson, 2005;Reading and Nowgesic, 2002). To date, however, research in this area has tended to employ approaches seeking to quantify rates of disease and mortality, with less attention paid to the processes underlying the summary measures of population health.…”

“…The DREAM studies have been sensitive to Aboriginal interpretation of their illness experience and response to treatment regimens and have attempted to meet the highest standards of excellence in quality and to be initiated in partnership with the priorities of their communities (25,26). Future research in multiple communities is required to determine if chronic disease management care models using the insights learned in the DREAM studies can lead to long-term improvements in health outcomes.…”

Objectives. To review the DREAM studies and the role of participatory research using a Home and Community Care model in treating First Nations diabetes. Study Design. Population survey, pilot and prospective randomized trial Methods. Review documented history of these studies since inception. Collation of all data from the DREAM studies from 1998 to the present, including interviews with all providers and many of the participants.Results. The DREAM studies were a participatory process providing a needs assessment and became the foundation for this First Nation's Home and Community Care team involvement in providing community-based chronic-disease management. The findings motivated the community to find a process that would lead to needed changes. This participatory research enabled a culturally tailored algorithm of evidence-based management of hypertension and disease management strategies for people with diabetes. These studies demonstrated that in this community the Home and Community Care team could work together with primary care physicians and specialists to prevent the complications of diabetes. DREAM studies and participatory research involving multidisciplinary home careConclusions. The DREAM studies demonstrated in the first controlled trial that with participatory research a systems change is possible; a chronic-disease management model utilizing a trained multidisciplinary Home and Community Care team and informed patients can lead to lower blood pressure in a Canadian First Nations population with diabetes.

“…The growth rate of Canadian Aboriginal people is expected to increase from 2006-2031 as compared to Canadian non-Aboriginal people (1.1%-2.2% vs. 1.0% respectively). Canadian researchers monitor Native/ Aboriginal health by measuring common disease and death rates in an attempt to understand health disparities [22,23].…”
